Description

Explore how imaginative authors shaped America's identity through this scholarly examination of literary responses to nationhood. Spanning from Crevecoeur and the Revolution through Washington Irving's Jeffersonian era to James Fenimore Cooper's Era of Good Feelings, this Routledge volume traces a crucial philosophical divide: between those who believed national perfection had been achieved and those who recognised its incompleteness. The book investigates how writers confronted pivotal moments in the new nation's evolution, each grappling with the foundational question 'What then is the American, this new man?' Essential reading for students and scholars of American literary history, literary theory, and the cultural construction of national identity.
